Tourism Western Australia, ScreenWest and regional organisations work together to ensure that the impact on potential tourists in key tourism markets is maximised. Opportunities to promote specific locations are identified and marketing strategies put in place. These will vary, depending on the film or television production and the key markets identified from a tourism perspective eg. intrastate, interstate or specific international territories. Key audience demographics are also taken into account. Locations for filming of Dirt Music are still being determined. Once these are confirmed, Tourism Western Australia will work with the Producers to ensure that awareness of the destinations in key markets is generated. Discussions are continuing between Tourism Western Australia and Screenwest to identify promotional opportunities for the State.
